Photoshop fails: Unsuccessful attempts to manipulate photographs

In 2010 Egypt's state-run newspaper was criticised after it altered a photograph to suggest President Hosni Mubarak was leading the Middle East peace talks. The photograph, which appeared in Al-Ahram, the country’s most widely circulated newspaper, showed Mr Mubarak walking on a red carpet ahead of the US, Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian leaders.
The original image shows Barack Obama leading the way ahead of the three other leaders, with Mr Mubarak trailing behind. The photograph was taken at the White House when talks were formally re-launched on September 1. The doctored image appeared above an article called The Way to Sharm el-Sheikh on page six of al-Ahram on Tuesday September 14.
